The new Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi (Force Spirit) hit in September, and our pal Phil is already finding them for $14.99! I haven't even seen these in all stores in my area yet, but they are making the rounds. In most major cities you can throw a rock and hit a Walgreens, or two.
If you're lucky you might also find some basic figures from the newer waves next to this Force Spirit. Happy hunting!
Amazon's new exclusives are here early! Amazon's Star Wars The Black Series Elite Praetorian Guard (with Heavy Blade) has a unique helmet and two distinctive weapons you won't find in other exclusives or the individual figures. Grab yours here.
The Star Wars The Black Series First Order Stormtrooper with Gear includes a figure with a new helmet for The Last Jedi in addition to some new and previously seen accessories like the riot baton, riot shield, ammo pouch, jet pack, and more. Click here to order it.
If you were lucky, you also found Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master, The Black Series) 3 3/4-inch figure during the Force Friday II weekend memorial toy launch and BBQ at a Walmart near you... and it probably didn't ring up, either. Well, they're in circulation and it's a pretty good figure - it has articulation and a cloth cloak, while the cheaper, more findable one has less articulation and a really good plastic cloak. Which should you buy? Both, but read on!
The big figures are in this season, so we're happy to see new guys and more importantly, new old guys. There are new movie characters, there are original trilogy characters, and one of my absolute favorites is getting a big upsizing! In today's reveals, you'll find 5 new 6-inch action figures which could be in your hands over the next year.
New at Toys R Us, the exclusive Star Wars: The Black Series Action Figure - Rey (Jedi Training) on Crait has been revealed! She's due in November for $34.99. The figure is a new one, more or less, with added cloth elements and a display base.
I had some time, so I threw up some more prototype pictures of the Landspeeder. Maybe you didn't see them, maybe you did, but here they are again with more angles. A panel for The Black Series was rescheduled from the web times, and I caught a livestream of it. As far as I can tell, there were no product reveals in the stream - so let's gawk over this Landspeeder some more!
I just snapped a few more (or better) shots of items the other day. Maybe you've seen these, but if not here's another look. (No, not another Luke.)
The Titan Hero Series Yoda is a great mishmash of his design from The Empire Strikes Back and the prequels, including his snake and cane from the Kenner era plus a lightsaber from the not-as-old era. I've felt that these 12-inch scale figures have been generally great - their only real shortcoming is my preferene for Original Trilogy-era characters, of which there have been precious few at this size. The production sample of Yoda looked so incredible that for $10, I'd strongly recommend everybody give him a good look when he hits stores in a little while.
You may have seen this from San Diego Comic-Con, but it was mobbed by people in a tight booth. At HasCon, there was more space between things, so you don't have to worry about being crushed alive from all sides while trying to look at an action figure. Also notable, many figures in the diorama were customized and a Luke Stormtrooper has an alternate, wet head. I was unable to find out if it's coming out or was just a thing for the booth, but the important thing tonight is that you can see it after the jump.
The 6-inch The Black Series Captain Rex will be available early at HasCon! And apparently you can also buy Headmaster Arcee, a Power Bank Optimus Prime, new Magic: The Gathering cards, and some other items that may or may not be shared or to be fully announced. We shall see! Click through to iO9 for more.
If you recall last year, Hasbro didn't announce its Jyn Erso exclusive until San Diego Comic-Con-goers were already on the ground. This year, we may (because it wasn't officially announced yet) be seeing this Star Wars: The Black Series Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and Jedi In Training Rey 2-pack as seen on the Jedi Insider today. It hasn't been officially announced at all, but it does look a lot like official Hasbro photography. More as we have it!
Debuting at San Diego Comic-Con at Entertainment Earth's Booth #2343, the Toys R Us Exclusive 6-inch The Black Series Star Wars Commander Gree is looking fantastic - it's just one of several items on sale there, including stuff from Twin Peaks, Guardians of the Galaxy, Transformers, and Justice League. Check it out, and get yours at the show!
Ad: Pre-Order 40th Anniversary Star Wars The Black Series Action Figures now! Get a Tusken Raider, C-3PO, a Jawa, a Death Star Trooper, a Stormtrooper, and Chewbacca in a case from Entertainment Earth.

And if that weren't enough, surprising no one, Hasbro will make good use of its Imperial Officer body types to bring you Grand Mofff Tarkin later this year. It will include the Interrogation Droid, and look menacing.
If you're enjoying stomping the pavement to find R5-D4 at GameStops this weekend, good news - you can do it again in November! For a couple of bucks north of $20, the Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot variatnt Inferno Squadron Pilot should be up for grabs in November. It's like the TIE Fighter Pilot you have but with more red.
